20. IIISrORICAL AND ARCHITLCTURAL IMPORTANCE:
In 1929 this was the Southold Branch of the Long Island
Produce and Fertilizer Co. Inc. An electric motor powers
a "mixing machine" for fertilizer. The machine is still
there. The elevator was used to fill the bins. These are
the white boxes between the buildings under which the far-
mers drove their trucks to be filled with fertilizer. Also
potatoes were graded in the building. In former days this
was a very busy place.
Industria. archeologists would be very much interested to
see this building with its intact weighing station, mixing
machine , elevator and railroad siding. (Continued)
